These custard filled pancakes are easy to do and lovely to eat. My hubby can eat 6 in one go! LOL. I can easily down 4. Lydia eats 2 with ease.

I saw a few recipes and settled for one that uses Eno fruit salt because I know Eno gives batters a beautiful and delicious type of fluffiness.

Later I found out that Kelantan and Terengganu also have this snack, but comes with the name Telinga Lembik (soft ears). Since all these states are near to Thailand, it's no surprise that this Thai influenced snack is also popular there.

1. Mix flour, water and colouring together until a smooth batter forms. Add in Eno, stir it (it will fizzle) and leave it for 15 minutes.
2. Heat a frying pan on medium low heat, put in 2 drops of oil and wipe around with tissue.
3. Put in 1 Chinese soup spoon of batter and fry until the surface is fully set.
4. Remove the pancake onto plate and fry another piece of pancake.
5. While waiting for each piece of pancake to cook, fill the pancakes with 1 heaped tsp of custard and fold into half. Gently press to seal the sides. (do this before it totally cools down)

1. In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs, salt and sugar until combined, put in cornstarch and mix until even. Add in coconut milk and stir to combine. Add in water and combine.
2. Pour the mixture into a heavy based saucepan. Put in pandan leaf.
3. Cook on medium heat, stirring al the time until the custard cooks and turns very thick.
4. Let it cool down before filling the pancakes.

Hi Wendy,You make this into pandan flavor too. Must be full of pandan aroma..nice.I made this in the Terengganu MFF is telinga lembik like you mention above.Love yours very much. Thanks for sharing.mui..^^

This recipe is so cool..I made the pandan flavour today..My family & friends all love this snack! But the sealing part is little bit tricky though, took me quite a while to get it done properly..The best part is, this recipe doesn't require any baking powder!Do you think I can use 'instant custard powder' for the custard fillings? becos I only have that in the fridge.
